Human resources consultants ensure that an organization’s human capital serves the best interests of the company. By creating and developing a human resources model specific to the organizations that hire them, human resources consultants work to ensure that the company is effectively using its personnel to achieve its stated goals, while also ensuring the workforce is operating at a high level of productivity and efficiency. Human resources is the set of people who make up the workforce of an organization, business sector, industry, or economy. Similar terms include manpower, labor, personnel, associates or simply: people. A human-resources department (HR department) of an organization performs human resource management, overseeing various aspects of employment, such as compliance with labor law and employment standards, interviewing, administration of employee benefits, organizing of employee files with the required documents for future reference, and some aspects of recruitment (also known as talent acquisition) and employee off boarding. Human resources consultants serve as the link between an organization's management and its employees.
